George Bush with George Bush. Happy Birthday, Shrub.

My vintage America themed postcard collection. These are just a couple of postcards from my larger collection. I'm new to collecting old postcards but I'm definitely excited to share some of them with y'all. The flag is from my grandpa's service, he passed away last year and I wanted to include him in my display. Happy 4th of July, and God bless America!🇺🇸🎉🎊🇺🇸🎆🎇🇺🇸

The Glen Fee, the last existing railcar of 1947 The American Freedom Train at the Galveston Railroad Museum in Galveston, Texas. The Freedom Train was a 7-car traveling museum that toured the United States from 1947 to 1949. Its collection featured historical documents important to American democracy, such as the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and Emancipation Proclamation. The Glen Fee housed Marines assigned as an honor guard for the documents. The car was originally built by Pullman for the New York Central Railroad in July 1926.

90 years ago today, on Wednesday May 27, 1936 the Queen Mary began her maiden voyage, sailing from Southampton, England to New York City. Even before she completed the voyage, the Queen Mary became an internationally renowned ocean liner, and can be enjoyed to this day by those who wish to explore the grand old ship's grandeur, fame, and legacy.

Recreating Kate Odell's photo of the Titanic's hull with the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. This was just a quick photo I did on the fly so I know the angles are different. See my earlier post of the first Titanic photo I recreated with the Queen Mary.

I don't know how but they found me.
